[StBernard] Structural engineers?

[Westley Annis]

"Wes, Craig, et al--Do any of y'all know of a structural engineer that is
doing house inspections down in the parish?  Our house has some damage, and
we are trying to determine if the house is safe to repair, or if we should
make a date with a bulldozer.  Thanks, --Sam"

**Geez, there are so many great people of the parish who is in the hole
financially or whatever, and must face paying a specialist/professional like
a structural engineer, etc.., when they have the bare essentials to continue
past annihilation--still fighting FEMA, exhausted Red Cross, and
chuch-donations..? They might even be disabled or on fix-incomes and are
being asked to foot specialists expenses as these?  Aren't there someone who
can help these people? Not everyone, we're sure came out near perfect,
financially. What a dilemma!
